LA Knight says that was close.
On the September 20th episode of WWE SmackDown, LA Knight defeated Andrade in a hard-fought match to retain the WWE United States Championship. In doing so, he surpassed Logan Paul for the number of successful defenses in his reign.
In a SmackDown Exclusive, LA Knight was asked for his assessment of Andrade.
“Let me talk to ya. I’ll tell you what my assessment is. You talk about Andrade, you talk about a guy who is double tough, I can’t deny that. Here’s the thing. Look, this is such a game out there. You can say it’s a game of inches, you can say it’s a game of chances, you can damn sure say you’re playing roulette out there. Things almost didn’t go my way. It was this close. I mean, you’re talking the short and curlies here. The deal is, look, if I don’t catch you with the one, you bet I’ll catch you with the other, and that’s exactly what happened, one BFT for your trouble. So any night, any man can come out on top, but believe this, every single night it’s gonna be LA Knight. Now, look, I think little chirping ‘Melo was running around, saying it would be a different outcome if he was in the match. Huh? Brother, we’ve already been there. The story’s already been told. You lose, you blew it. Every time, nothing changes there. So I’ll tell you what, you guys have a little fun. I’m gonna go on moving on, like I always do, hit it and quit it. Because nobody, and I’m telling you nobody, can take this thing off of me. Why? Because I pledge allegiance to the champ of the United States of America. Yeah," Knight said.
